Modern voice teaching can pull people in multiple directions.

In his career as a performer and teacher, Ian Howell has always pushed the value of cultivating and practicing curiosity, expanding knowledge, and applying it in as wide a range of contexts as possible. In this NATS Chat, we will cover several topics, including an update to the state of online teaching, training functional listening skills, and his thoughts on the current perception that teachers and singers must prize either application, or theory and research.
